By: M. Liljesthröm*, C. Cooper* & J. Reboreda*

author keywords: egg size; laying order; clutch size; reproductive investment; Tachycineta meyeni

Natural History Traits Associated with Detecting Mortality Within Residential Bird Communities: Can Citizen Science Provide Insights?

Environmental Management, 50(1), 11–20.

By: C. Cooper*, K. Loyd*, T. Murante*, M. Savoca* & J. Dickinson*

author keywords: Domestic cat; Predator-prey interactions; Urbanization; Birdfeeders; "My Yard Counts"; "PredatorWatch"
